If you constantly train trying to avoid injuries, you won't get injured, you just won't get big or strong.
You try and minimize them, but they will happen, not much you can do!
In my experience weightlifting is one of the safer sports when it comes to injuries. I have hardly had an injury from lifting weights yet have a shopping list of injuries from playing footy.
It is weird that I'm the complete opposite. I played football from 12-19 and was knocked out from behind one, rolled my ankle once and got winded a few times but never really had any long term injuries. I never missed a game through injury.
Now I seem to get injured every time I pick up a weightPerhaps it is because I'm older and less active, don't really know.
All I know is that injuries (that prevent me from training) are hell annoying and I'd do plenty to avoid them.
PTC said:Lots of talk recently in Ghostys thread.
He must get injured because of his form, general assumption.
i do not subscribe to this at all. i have trained with a world champion (a proper one) who has been competiting for nearly 20 years and has never had a serious injury.Every sport has its risks, you will get injured.
Max pointed out that most cant make the distinction between hurt and injured.
Please list an example of being "strong" in a "bad way", is that meant to be an oxymoron?I believe the assumption was that it's his gung-ho attitude pushing his body way harder than necessary that caused the injuries. Not form. The disagreement on form was about him telling novices that they should get strong while having bad form because it will develop strength even in bad ways, or something very bro-science that I can't quite articulate now.
Nice thread, wrong premise.
